Here's a late-breaking CVS deal for this week on John Frieda Shampoo and Conditioner:

Sabrina, you'll pay $5.97 out of pocket and have $5 to spend on a future purchase. So basically you could then turn around and use them to pay for another deal that earns ECBs to either reduce your out of pocket costs or increase your ECBs earned.

I was told by one of the Mgrs that when you get the ECBs you redeem them during the next quarter. But then other people are telling me you can use on the next purchase. So, I'm guessing they just print out like the Walgreens RRs do? I haven't paid much attention to CVS ads b/c of the ECBs since I thought they were redeemed during the next quarter and I didn't want to wait that long to use them.

Ashely, it sounds like the manager you talked to was confusing the weekly and monthly ECBs deals with the quarterly program. The weekly and monthly ECBs deals print out with your transaction receipt. You can turn around and use this to pay for another transaction immediately.

The quarterly program, on the other hand, gives you 2% back in ECBs for your total purchases in a quarter, plus 1 ECB for every two prescriptions you fill. These are only paid out every three months.

I just found a coupon at Coupons.com for $2.50 off any John Frieda product.
The $3.00 off John Frieda coupon was from the Sunday coupon insert Smart Source on March 7, 2010, coupons always vary. In the future, you could always check EBay, that's where I picked up 20 John Frieda coupons for just $3.99 and was able to get the products at my local Randalls for just .99 each during a sale that ended 4/6. I know other coupon services might have cost less per coupon, but I was buying additional coupons from the same person and overall ended up spending less.

i noticed on the ecb receipt theres a date that expires within a couple weeks. i either use it that same day on another transaction or the following week. thank you deal seeking mom for all your free advice on picking up all these free or almost free i goodies

I'm SO SO SO bummed :( I did this deal today but didn't get the ECB's. Is it worth trying to call corporate or talking to a manager since technically I'm under the $15 requirement? My total was $14.97. Thanks for any help!
